Synopsis

This is a fascinating and gloriously illustrated look at the uniquely themed work of Howie Tsui's latest series of works - "Friendly Fire". Howie Tsui's extraordinary "Friendly Fire" exhibition blends the history of medicine with a haunting, unruly commemoration of the War of 1812. Three essays explore Tsui's practice and the aspects of the War illuminated by his installations, including the psychological conditions of war, factitious diseases and self-injury, counter-narratives of conflict, ethno-political strife, medical theories and practices of the period, the uneasy relations between the British and their aboriginal allies, and carnival-esque representations of war in popular culture.
